Samoyedic Peoples
The Samoyedic Peoples are a group of indigenous peoples who primarily inhabit the northern regions of Siberia in Russia. They are traditionally divided into several groups, including the Nenets, Enets, Nganasan, and Selkup. These communities have a rich cultural heritage, often centered around reindeer herding, fishing, and hunting, which are essential for their subsistence.
Historically, the Samoyedic Peoples have their own languages, classified under the Uralic language family. Their traditional lifestyles are closely tied to the harsh Arctic environment, and they have developed unique skills and knowledge to thrive in these conditions. Today, many Samoyedic communities continue to maintain their cultural practices while also adapting to modern influences.
